## Abstract Coupling advanced oxidative pretreatment with subsequent biodegradation demonstrates potential for treating wastewaters containing biorecalcitrant and inhibitory organic constituents. However, advanced oxidation is indiscriminate, producing a range of products that can be too oxidized,
A simple biofilm model was developed to simulate the competition between two microorganisms for a common inhibitory substrate. The following assumptions were made for the simulations: (1) the biofilm has a uniform thickness and is composed of 5 segments, (2) growth of two microorganisms A and B whic
